Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to computer implemented database systems and, more particularly, to a method and system for providing path-level access control to structured documents stored in a database system.
- Structured documents are documents which have nested structures.
- Documents written in Extensible Markup Language (XML) are structured documents.
- XML is quickly becoming the standard format for delivering information over the Internet because it allows the user to design a customized markup language for many classes of structure documents.
- a business can easily model complex structures such as purchase orders in XML form and send them for further processing to its business partners.
- XML supports user-defined tabs for better description of nested document structures and associated semantics, and encourages the separation of document content from browser presentation.
- DBMS database management systems
- DASD direct access storage devices
- Some DBMSs known as relational databases
- relational databases store and query the documents utilizing relational techniques
- other DBMSs known as native databases
- XML documents are typically grouped into a collection of similar or related documents. Thus, for example, a group of purchase orders can form a collection.
- DBMS Once a collection of documents is stored in the database, relational or native, it is potentially available to large numbers of users. Therefore, data security becomes a crucial concern.
- the DBMS must be able to control, i.e., deny or grant, access to the data by the user.
- security is generally directed to the table level, i.e., access to a table is controlled. While this may be sufficient for relational data, it is inadequate for controlling access to a collection of XML documents because an XML document stored in the database contains information that is much more diverse than data stored in rows in tables.
- Access control for XML documents is fine-grained, that is, access to each node in an XML document is controlled.
- the term “node” is used in the DOM-sense, which is a standard XML construct well known to those skilled in the art. In that construct, the XML document is represented by a plurality of nodes that form a hierarchical node tree. Each node of the XML document is identified by a path that defines a hierarchical relationship between the node and its parent node(s). Thus, fine-grained access control to the nodes of an XML document is referred to as path-level access control.
- an administrator wanted to limit access to a “salary” node in all documents in a collection “all_employees,” the administrator would generate the following statement: Deny read access on “/employee/salary” in collection “all_employees” to group non-managers This statement would deny access to all salary nodes with path “/employee/salary” in all documents in collection “all_employees.” This type of statement is referred to as an access control rule.
- a set of access control rules directed to a collection of documents is referred to as an access control policy.
- the method and system should be integrated (or capable of being integrated) with an existing database system in order to use the existing resources of the database system.
- the present invention addresses such a need.
- the present invention is directed to an improved method and system for performing path-level access control evaluation for a structured document in a collection, where the structured document comprises a plurality of nodes and each of the nodes is described by a path.
- the method comprises providing a cache for temporarily storing a cache entry for a path associated with a node of the plurality of nodes, receiving a query that includes a request to access the node, checking the cache entry for the path associated with the node, and determining whether to grant access to the node based on the cache entry.

- the present invention relates generally to computer implemented database systems and, more particularly, to an improved method and system for providing path-level access control for structured documents stored in a database.
- the following description is presented to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention and is provided in the context of a patent application and its requirements.
- Various modifications to the preferred embodiment and the generic principles and features described herein will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
- the following discussion is presented in the context of a DB2® database environment available from IBM® Corporation. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to DB2 and may be implemented with other database management systems.
- the present invention is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and features described herein.
- a structured document is parsed into a plurality of nodes. Each node is then associated with a path that describes the node's hierarchical relationship to its parent node(s).
- An Access Control mechanism in the DBMS receives an access control policy, comprising at least one access control rule, for the structured document in the collection and generates for each of the paths associated with the nodes in the document a value expression.
- the value expression is an executable statement which describes the access control rule for that path, i.e., who is granted or denied access to data in that path.
- the value expression can be data-dependent if one of the at least one access control rules on which the value expression is based is data-dependent.
- the value expression is not data-dependent, i.e., none of the at least one access control rules on which the value expression is based is data-dependent, then a result of an evaluation of the value expression is the same at all times for a given user, and the result can be stored in a cache.
- the DBMS evaluates a value expression for a path associated with the requested node, and if the value expression is not data-dependent, the result of the evaluation is stored in the cache. Thus, if the DBMS is required to check the path again during the session, e.g., the user submits a second query, the DBMS refers to the result in the cache instead of re-evaluating the value expression.
- the preferred embodiment of the present invention presents several advantages over the conventional fine-grained access control process.
- the DBMS evaluates one value expression for a path instead of a plurality of access control rules making access control evaluation more efficient and faster.
- the number of evaluations the DBMS performs is minimized, further optimizing the access control evaluation process.
- access control evaluation is performed during run time, as opposed to compile time, thereby allowing an administrator to change the access control policy at run time without having to recompile the query.
- FIG. 1 is an exemplary computer environment for use with the present invention.
- a typical distributed computer system utilizes a network 103 to connect client computers 102 executing client applications to a server computer 104 executing software and other computer programs, and to connect the server computer 104 to data sources 106 .
- These systems are coupled to one another by various networks, including LANs, WANs, and the Internet.
- Each client computer 102 and the server computer 104 additionally comprise an operating system and one or more computer programs (not shown).
- the server computer 104 uses a data store interface (not shown) for connecting to the data sources 106 .
- the data store interface may be connected to a database management system (DBMS) 105 , which supports access to the data store 106 .
- DBMS 105 can be a relational database management system (RDBMS), such as the DB 2 ® system developed by IBM Corporation, or it also can be a native XML database system.
- RDBMS relational database management system
- the interface and DBMS 105 may be located at the server computer 104 or may be located on one or more separate machines.
- the data sources 106 may be geographically distributed.
- the DBMS 105 and the instructions derived therefrom are all comprised of instructions which, when read and executed by the server computer 104 cause the server computer 104 to perform the steps necessary to implement and/or use the present invention. While the preferred embodiment of the present invention is implemented in the DB 2 ® product offered by IBM Corporation, those skilled in the art will recognize that the present invention has application to any DBMS, whether or not the DBMS 105 is relational or native. Moreover, those skilled in the art will recognize that the exemplary environment illustrated in FIG. 1 is not intended to limit the present invention, and that alternative environments may be used without departing from the scope of the present invention.
- the DBMS 105 includes a cache 800 and access control policies 107 that are authored by an administrator 108 or some other authorized personnel. Each access control policy 107 describes the security rules pertaining to data stored in the database.
- the DBMS 105 also comprises an Access Control mechanism 200 that provides path-level access control to structured documents stored on disk. Storing data “on disk” refers to storing data persistently, for example, in the data store 106 . While the Access Control mechanism 200 is shown as a subcomponent of the DBMS 105 , those skilled in the art recognize that the Access Control mechanism 200 can also be a separate module coupled to the DBMS 105 . Such a configuration would fall within the scope of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the Access Control mechanism 200 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the Access Control mechanism 200 generates a path table that contains value expressions that are utilized by the DBMS 105 during access control evaluation.
- the Access Control mechanism 200 comprises a path table generator 202 , a translator 300 and a path table 204 . Each component will be described in further detail in conjunction with FIG. 3 .
- FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for generating a path table according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the Access Control mechanism 200 receives or retrieves an access control policy 107 pertaining to a collection of structured documents.
- the Access Control mechanism 200 receives the control policy 107 immediately after the administrator 108 has written and validated it.
- the control policy 107 can be stored in a repository in the DBMS 105 , and retrieved by the Access Control mechanism 200 at a time after authorship.
- the access control policy 107 is presumably syntactically correct and logically valid when it is received by the Access Control mechanism 200 .
- the Access Control mechanism 200 can be configured to evaluate the access control policy 107 and validate it.
- the access control policy 107 for the collection comprises at least one access control rule.
- Each access control rule typically defines a subject to which the rule applies, an action and a path.
- the subject can be a user's name or a group of users.
- the action can be, but is not limited to, a read, an update, a create or a delete action.
- the path identifies the node to which the rule applies.
- the following access control rule ⁇ /bib/book/title, ⁇ Murata ⁇ ,+read> provides that the user Murata is allowed to read information at the title element node described by the path “/bib/book/title.” This access control rule is data-independent because user Murata is allowed such access for all documents in the collection.
- the distinction between data-dependent and data-independent access control rules will become relevant in the discussion describing access control evaluation below.
- the path generator 202 generates a path for each node in a node tree representing a structured document in the collection in step 306 .
- a structured document can be represented as a plurality of nodes forming a hierarchical node tree.
- S 1 a structured document
- the path to element node Q1 is: /Questionnaire/Questions/Q1
- the access control policy 107 and paths are passed to the translator 300 , where in step 308 , a value expression for each path is generated.
- the value expression for a path is an executable statement regarding who, if anyone, has access to the node associated with the path.
- the value expression represents a combination of all access control rules that affect the node.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a process by which the translator 300 generates the value expressions.
- the process begins by normalizing each of the access control rules that make up the access control policy 107 in step 402 .
- each access control rule is transformed into a normalized rule format that includes a head, a path expression, and a condition.
- the head indicates whether an action is granted or denied
- the path expression describes the path associated with the node
- the condition indicates to whom the rule applies and under what circumstances.
- the above format is called a normalized rule. After this step is finished, a set of normalized access control rules is generated.
- FIG. 5 illustrates a condition table 500 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the condition table 500 comprises a ConditionID column 502 and a Condition Expression column 504 .
- the Condition Expression column 504 contains the third argument of each normalized rule, i.e., the condition, while the ConditionID column 502 contains an identifier associated with the condition.
- the translator 300 replaces the third argument of each normalized rule with the ConditionID corresponding to the condition to form a modified normalized rule.
- Propagation refers to how an access control rule associated with a particular node affects access to ancestor and descendant nodes. In general, propagation has two modes: up and down. Propagation-up refers to when an access control rule associated with a particular node propagates upward toward its ancestor nodes, while propagation-down refers to when an access control rule propagates downward toward its descendant nodes. Whether an access control rule propagates up or down depends on a set of propagation rules.
- the following table illustrates a set of propagation rules according a preferred embodiment of the present invention:
- the translator 300 applies the propagation rules and identifies each path that is affected by the modified normalized rule. For example, if the modified normalized rule associated with a node is a “GRANT read” to user A, the modified normalized rule propagates up and down from the node. User A has “read” access to all descendant nodes and to all ancestor element nodes. Thus, the translator 300 identifies the paths associated with the descendant and ancestor element nodes as being accessible by user A. If more than one modified normalized rule affects a particular path, those rules are combined for the path in step 406 .
- the translator 300 optimizes the rules by minimizing repeated value expressions in the output.
- reference notations and supplemental value expressions are used to optimize the rules.
- the translator 300 compares the ConditionID specified for a path associated with a node to the ConditionID of the path associated with its parent node. If the ConditionIDs are identical, then the ConditionID in the child node is replaced with “ref(l, . . . /)” indicating that the condition for the child node is identical to the condition of the parent node and therefore, there is no need to reevaluate the value expression for the child.
- “ref(2, . . . /sibling-node)” is used to express the reference while “. . . /sibling-node” is the relative path.
- a supplemental value expression is an additional value expression associated with a path that describes the access rule for any descendant path that exists or may exist in the future. For example, if user B has read access on path “a/b,” then according to the propagation rules presented in Table 1, user B has read access to any descendant path associated with a node (descendant path/node) under “a/b.”
- a descendant path/node may exist (i.e., a path and value expression has been generated for the descendent node) or it may not yet exist because, for example, a document containing this path has not yet been added to the collection and processed by the Access Control mechanism 200 .
- the translator 300 generates a supplemental value expression for path “a/b” that indicates that user B has read access to any descendent path/node.
- a/b supplemental value expression for path “a/b” that indicates that user B has read access to any descendent path/node.
- a value expression generator 302 transforms each modified normalized access control rule into a value expression for the path, via step 410 .
- the value expression generator 302 performs a syntactical conversion and an addition of a “!p” notation.
- the value expression generator 304 generates “!p” notation wherever the reference notation is specified.
- rules 1-4 are transformed into normalized rules.
- Each normalized rule includes a head, a path expression and a condition.
- the normalized rules are as follows:
- the translator 300 generates and populates the following condition table:
- each rule is propagated through each path in the node tree (generated by the path generator 202 in step 306 of FIG. 3 ) according to the propagation rules in Table 1 above.
- the output of the propagation of the rule through a path is a statement indicating whether a user is granted or denied access to the path, and in turn, to the node.
- each output statement is transformed into a value expression based on the condition expression in the condition table.
- a value expression is created for each path.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a path table 600 for the collection of documents and the access control policy according to the example described above.
- the table 600 comprises a path column 602 and a value expression column 604 .
- the path column 602 contains the path to each node in the structured document and the value expression column 604 contains the value expression.
- the value expressions are compiled before they are stored in the path table 204 .
- the result is a set of mini-plans that can be efficiently executed by the DBMS 105 at runtime to perform access control checking.
- FIGS. 7A and 7B are flowcharts illustrating a process 700 for utilizing a cache and value expressions according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the process begins in step 702 when a user requests access, e.g., read, to a node in a structured document in a collection.
- the request is typically in the form of a query that is written in Xquery or any other query language appropriate for querying structured documents.
- the DBMS 105 compiles the query during compile time and then executes the compiled query during run time.
- the DBMS 105 returns the structured document(s), or portions thereof, satisfying the query.
- FIG. 8 is a block diagram illustrating the cache 800 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the cache 800 comprises one cache entry ( 806 a , 807 a , 808 a , 809 a ) per path ( 806 , 807 , 808 , 809 ).
- the cache entry is preferably one of four statements: granted (G), denied (D), unknown (U) and data-dependent (DD).
- the DBMS 105 checks the cache entry, e.g., 806 a , for the path, e.g., 806 , associated with the node for which access is requested.
- the DBMS 105 denies access to the node in step 708 . If the cache entry is a grant (G) statement (step 710 ), the DBMS 105 grants access to the node in step 718 . If the cache entry is a data-dependent (DD) statement (step 714 ), the DBMS 105 accesses the path table 600 and evaluates the value expression 604 corresponding to the path 602 associated with the requested node, via step 716 . If the result of the evaluation in step 716 is a grant, then the DBMS 105 grants access to the node in step 718 , otherwise access is denied in step 719 .
- D deny
- G grant
- DD data-dependent
- the DBMS 105 accesses the path table 600 and evaluates the value expression 604 corresponding to the path 602 associated with the requested node in step 726 via node B. Referring now to FIG. 7B , if the result of the evaluation in step 726 is a grant, then the DBMS 105 grants access to the node in step 730 , otherwise access is denied in step 732 . Next, the DBMS 105 determines whether the value expression 604 corresponding to the path 602 associated with the requested node is data-dependent in step 734 .
- U Unknown
- a value expression 604 is data-dependent if one of the at least one access control rules on which the value expression 604 is based is data-dependent. If the value expression 604 is data-dependent, then the DBMS 105 changes the cache entry from an Unknown (U) statement to a data-dependent (DD) statement in step 736 . Otherwise, the DBMS 105 changes the cache entry from an Unknown (U) statement to a deny (D) or grant (G) statement in step 738 depending on the result of the evaluation in step 726 .
- the DBMS 105 After the DBMS 105 grants or denies access to the node in steps 708 , 718 and 719 , or after the DBMS 105 changes the cache entry from an Unknown (U) statement to a data-dependent (DD) or deny (D) or grant (G) statement in steps 736 and 738 , the DBMS 105 receives a next query from the user in step 720 ( FIG. 7A ) and repeats steps 704 to 738 .
- the cache entry for a path is an Unknown (U) statement if the DBMS 105 has not evaluated the value expression corresponding to the path. Accordingly, at the initiation of a query session for a user, each of the cache entries 804 in the cache 800 initially is an Unknown (U) statement.
- the cache entries 804 change from “U” to either “D”, “G”, or “DD.”
- the DBMS 105 is required to access the path table 600 only if the value expression 604 is data-dependent. Otherwise, the DBMS 105 utilizes the cache entry 804 to determine the user's access rights to a node.
- the cache 800 can also be utilized with the underlying access control rules.
- the DBMS 105 can evaluate the access control policy affecting the path and the result of that evaluation is stored as a cache entry 804 in the cache 800 .
- the preferred embodiment of the present invention presents several advantages over the conventional fine-grained access control process.
- the DBMS 105 evaluates one value expression 604 for a path 602 instead of a plurality of access control rules making access control evaluation more efficient and faster.
- the number of evaluations the DBMS 105 performs is minimized, further optimizing the access control evaluation process.
- access control evaluation is performed during run time, as opposed to compile time, thereby allowing an administrator to change the access control policy at run time without having to recompile the query.
- the DBMS 105 is able to hide data in a document.
Abstract
Description
Deny read access on “/employee/salary” in collection “all_employees” to group non-managers
This statement would deny access to all salary nodes with path “/employee/salary” in all documents in collection “all_employees.” This type of statement is referred to as an access control rule. A set of access control rules directed to a collection of documents is referred to as an access control policy.
</bib/book/title,{Murata},+read>
provides that the user Murata is allowed to read information at the title element node described by the path “/bib/book/title.” This access control rule is data-independent because user Murata is allowed such access for all documents in the collection. The access control rule can also include predicates such that a user's access to a particular node is data-dependent. For example, an access control rule that reads:
Grant read access on “/employee/salary” in collection “IMB_employees” to Group Manager if “/employee/status=4”
is data-dependent because in order to evaluate whether the user has access to the element node “salary,” the

The node tree would comprise the following element nodes:
</bib/book[@title=“security”], GROUP Admin,+read>
is transformed into:
(grant_read, ‘/bib/book’, equal($Group, Admin) & xpath(/bib/book[@title=“security”])
The above format is called a normalized rule. After this step is finished, a set of normalized access control rules is generated.
